Description

The destruction and damage to the cultural heritage of communities immersed in wars are irreparable. And the latest developments in information technologies are still the same as the information and images that lead to the destruction of already protected heritage elements. In this dramatic context, various public and private organizations act to avoid or limit any elements of the heritage, intending to have a collective heritage. Tanmateix, també han identificat el Patrimoni Cultural com has one of great usefulness to prepare the Pau during the mateix conflicte bèl·lic. The ICRPC carries out a prospection of the organizations which currently exist where they are established in Europe and which carry out acts of violence against wars at international level. We analyze the characteristics of the organizations, the initiatives and the actual projects.
